We can desire no better when in per-
feet health; but how often do the

up disheartened, discouraged and
worn out with disease, when there is
no occasion for this feeling, as every
sufferer can easily obtain satisfactory
proof, that GREEN'S august Flower
will make them free from disease, as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes of
seventy-five per cent. of such NAL
aides as Biliousness, Indigestion,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Nervous

Palpitation of the Heart, and other
distressing symptoms. Three doses
of August FIolCeT will prove its
wonderful effect. Sample bottles, lO

BILE prejudices of the olden time that
is destined to be exploded by the adj
vance of civilization. Instead of re-
quiring this outlay of the crop raiser,
| believe that true social order
would impose this duty upon the
stock raiser, who can perform it at a
much smaller expense. By the pro-
cess of soiling animals, the stock rails
er is now able to dispense with all
farm fences, except his line fences
and such enclosures as may be nee
essary' to confine his stock. If his
neighbors would follow his example,
his line fences might also be dispens-
ed with.
The question of personal right is
whether the individual stock raiser
should be permitted to subject society
to an enormous burden to guard
the ravages of his animals,or whether
Society should require him to guard
against those same injuries at COM
paratively trifiing expense. l do not
believe that he has any natural right
thus to tax his neighbors. Legisla-
ton is beginning to embrace this new
idea. During a visit to Virginia l
was informed by an intelligent farm
er that the law of that State recog-
nized a mans line as his fence, and
protects him against the ravages of
his neighbors' cattle, either by the
confscation of the offending animal
or by an action of damages, or both.
The benefit of the new system is SO
generally appreciated that only one
manin theneighborhood refused to ac-
ceptit. His appreciation of the claims
of Justice, however, had lately been
questioned by several prosecutions.
If this policy should be generally
adopted, agriculture will be relieved
of a grinding impost, crop produc-
ton will be cheapened, and subsist-
enee will become more abundant.
The raiser, it is true, will be
deprived of the heritage of
the roadside, but by turning his
attention to scientific and economic
methods of stock feeding, and by
adapting his business to its legitimate
conditions, he will place it upon a
sounder basis. The eheapening of
general crop raising will more than
compensate for the general confine-
ment of his stock to his feeding en-
closures. But the material benefit is
not the only one. The removal of
those eyesores, the old fences, will
add to the landscape an element of
beauty which will minister to the
higher elements of our nature, and
enhance the attractions of rural life.

Unanswered Questions.

Prof. Bailey, of the Michigan agri-
cultural college, demonstrates that
agriculture is science not to be de-
spised, and propounds a few inter-
rogatories for those who think other
wise to answer:
Why are the trees smaller, rounder,
fruits better and colors intenser as we
go nOrthward?
Why do plants terminate quicker
and at lower temperatures in cold
countries?
Why is the apple hardy and the fig
tender?
Why do latent characters some
times appear in offspring?
Why are small plants most fertile ?
Why do plants become variegated
and why is variegation contagious ?
Why does the Kittatinny black
berry rust when many others do not?
Why does the apple succeed as a
root-graft when the pear does not?
Why are some flowers white and
Others yellow on the same plant?
Why do potatoes run out?
Why American Strawberries vary,
while European ones do not?
Why do cuttings taken in the fall
become calloused on the wound?
Why do plants lose their poison.

Why do cuttings of the yew re-
quire two years in which to take

Fencing.

B. PERLEY PooRE in American Cultivator.
A statistician estimates the cost of
fencing of our American farms at
100000 1000, or nearly the aggregate
of our national debt. On an average,
this fencing requires renewal every
ten years, necessitating Jan average
outlay of $200,O0O,000 per annum
that is, protection against our neigh
bors' live stock imposes the necessity
of a permanent investment in unpro-
ductive fixtures Of a capital equal to
the capital stock of all our railroads,
and thepayment of an annual tax, the
proceeds of which nearly equal the
entire revenue of our National Gov
eminent. This tax, it should be re-
membered, falls exclusively upon the
agricultural interest, as the above es-
innate does not include the enclos-
ures of town lots or of manufacture
ing establishments.
l have no means at hand of testing
the accuracy of the above estimate,
and feel very muchEdisposed%to. re-
duce it. But making all reasonable
allowance, it is evident that it in
wolves very large residuum of truth
If it is even half as great as represent
ed, the fencing tax is one of the most
grinding imposts ever levied upon
productive industry. If the farmers
of our country were compelled by law
to pay 800, 100000 per annum from
the proceeds of their labor by way o
direct tax to the General Govern
ment, there would be no bounds tC
their complaints. But this tax, for il
is a real tax, is borne, if not cheerful
ly, yet without serious murmerings
from the fact that it is accepted as ont
of the necessities of the situation.
But is this idea true? Is it one o
the necessities of agriculture that tn,
crop raiser be compelled, at bound
less expense, to protect himsel
against the ravages of the domesti
animals of the stock raiser? I be
lieve that this is one of the untena

Curious Origin of Dakota's Name.

In an article in the March Cosmo-
politan on "The Home of the Biz
zard," Joel Benton gives the follow
ing curious explanation of the origin
of the name of Dakota:
The territory of Dakota is, in many
respects, the most interesting grand
division of our country's domain.
For a few years it has occupied more
attention than any other. No state
or territory, certainly, has ever risen
to such rapid and surprising impor-
lance.
The origin of its name has been the
subject of much dispute; butthe best
Indian authority, a dweller for forty
years among the Sioux Indians,
makes the word an abreviation OF
Pa-ha-Sota, which means many
heads, or plenty" The atfiX Sofa "
always means "plenty" in the
Sioux language. In the word Mime
sofa, it means plenty Of water, the
appropriateness of which designation
is made manifest when you consider
that the state bearing that name is
only twO-thirds land, the remaining
one-third being water. What the
many heads were that gave to Dako-
ia its title I do not pretend to say
from actual knowledge; but I sup.

Cattle on the Ranch.

Not long can any business continue
excessively profitable in free coun-
try where almost everybody knows
the business of everybody else. The
cattle ranch industry is no exception
to the rule, as. is shown by reports in
the Western papers. The Omaha
Bee says: "The rage for organic
ing companies with large foreign
capital and highly-paid managers is
on the decline. Itreached its height
in 1882, when more corporations of
this class were formed than in any
year before or since. The results of
the two years succeeding in loss of
cattle, small calf crops, and dividends
which run from 6 per cent to worse
than nothing, have exercised a de-
pressing infiuence'on foreign inves-
tors. Dundee and Edinburgh and
London have locked their safes to
the American promoter of ranch
investments, and a thousand stock
holders in the older enterprises are
wishing heartily that they were well
out of the business" Expensive
management, over capitalization, and
three hard winters have made even
fair dividends impossible. Thousands
of cattle are today being moved into
British America at heavy expense,
because settlement and the prohibi.
ton of fencing render their feeding
in the West too expensive. The
ranch will, therefore, yield its place
to the large stock farm, which is to
become the profitable way of raising
cattle in the future.

AS rule throughout the country,
the tendency is toward shortening
the length of political campaigns. In
Massachusetts the recent canvass
lasted only month, and Western
States that used to devote four or five
months to a campaign got along this
year with two or three. That the
old system did not really increase the
interest in elections is proved by the
fact that the vote is quite as heavy
after a short canvass as when the
best part of the summer and autumn
was given to campaigning.
